A fascinating aspect to me is that the London Drugs Squad was getting nowhere without proper informants. Shady persons from the inner circles of the pop stars who grassed on their employers. Personally I researched that Spanish Tony was one of them even up until the 1969 Cotchford days...
Astonishing naivety. How else do you imagine the police find anything about scenes they know nothing of - except through informers?
You believe in Sherlock Holmes figures who just employ deductive and inductive reasoning?
Even the authorities became so disenchanted with police malpractise they introduced the PACE act - the Police and Criminal Evidence bill - which the police hated. Mainly because it meant they had to find real evidence instead of just making it up, planting it, or relying on 'verbals'.
